The reddish j)arts clothed with a fine fnivons pubescence; elytra, especially 

 their posterior portion, sides of the under surface, and h-gs somewhat s]>otted with 

 a white pubescence. Vertex with five longitudinal blackish brown bands continued 

 as live bands of the same colour ou the prothorax, with the spaces lietweeu more 

 or less white, more so at the sides of the prothorax. Scutellum triangular, blackish 

 brown. Of the sutural spots of the elytra, common to both elytra, the first is 

 somewhat triangular, placed l)ehind the scutellum; the second oblong, almost in the 

 middle ; and the third the smallest, behind the middle. At the outer margin there 

 are four sjjots : one, faint, jilaced on the tip of the shoulder ; n second behind the 

 shoidiler, transverse and a little curved; a third in the middle, united in one 

 specimen with the second sutural spot ; and a fourth in front of the apex, trans- 

 verse', nearly reaching the sutnre, broadest and blackest at the outer margin. 

 The rows of punctures of the elytra rather regular ; almost the whole of the 

 last third imi)unctate, or nearly so. Under surface with a white streak above 

 the anterior coxal cavities, continued to the metasternum ; sides somewhat blackish. 

 Legs unicolorous, with a faintly blackish sjjot at the anterior femora and tibiae. 

 Process of the prostemum rounded ; that of the mesosternum rather narrow, 

 horizontal, and produced into a sliort tubercle.
